Suffusion WordPress Theme Check List provides a list of settings I have added to help you get started. This also helps you check against your own current settings.

Last Updated: March 14, 2018

Latest News: I have updated the information.

The power of suffusion in comparison with other themes is second to none. It has more options than you can imagine. Depending on how many options you enable in the theme, will determine if you need to install more plugins or not.

The list below is a simple guide I put together to help you set up suffusion correctly from the beginning. This list covers the most important areas of the admin back-end.

(There are more options to check and play around with but they are more for personal preferences and or designing purposes.)

Make sure you read through the whole list below before you get started. This will save you a lot of time and possibly future headaches. Once you have checked your website settings against the list, then you will know that you are on the right track. (You might decide to create your own list to cater for your unique design.)

Important to check this option. If you don’t intend to use these thumbnails then I suggest that you disable this option. If you don’t you will end up with images that you don’t need. This will increase your backup file size especially when you have 100 or more images.

You can disable the following widgets if you don’t intend to use them Query Post, Query Users, Google Translator, Featured Post, Follow Me, Child Pages, Search Twitter and Flickr. By disabling the widgets you will not use, it will reduce the website loading time.

This option was removed in version 4.4.8. You can check the plugins I recommend to manage your SEO from the following URL WordPress SEO Plugins.

This widget lets your visitors subscribe to it and follow you on popular social networks like Digg, FaceBook, FeedBurner reader, Delicious, Flickr, Google+, LinkedIn, Reddit, RSS, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Twitter and YouTube. Additionally they can subscribe to your blog by email, for which you need a FeedBurner account from Google. (Need to create an account for each service)
